I’ve never been into “cream” filled desserts. They’ve kinda always grossed me out … I think it was a scene in a Van Wilder movie that got to me … either way I prefer chocolate to an eclair any day.
Regardless they’re an important part of French pastry, formally called, Pate a Choux. Think of Pate a Choux as a really light hollow doughnut, filled with either savory or sweet filling.
Yesterday in class we made Pate Paris a Brest, a ring shaped Pate a Choux filled with hazelnut cream. We also made profiteroles, which I have to admit I liked … but I think it was because of the ice cream.
Recipe will follow during lunch-time, aka as soon as I have time to convert metric to standard so everyone can try it out themselves!

Food is critical to me. For starters, it is my profession, as a cook i also have to make sure that every single ingredient is fine, then it is my passion, i often like to test out different recipes, research online on all sort of lovely food related material.
Customers always question me, what would be a good diet, in particular women and my answer is normally exactly the same, good ol’ fresh organic food and quit ingesting junk from McDonalds. In order to live healty then sustain yourself.
